Stably Launches Stablecoin On/Off Ramps on the Stellar Network

SAN FRANCISCO, CA and SEATTLE, WA — MAY 10, 2021 — Stably, a Seattle-based FinTech company, announced today the launch of its on/off ramp integration for Stellar USDC, a leading dollar digital currency, issued by Circle and governed by the Centre Consortium, and USDS, Stably’s Stellar-based US digital dollar stablecoin.

This integration extends a widely adopted ecosystem standard to Stellar USDC, allowing Stellar-based applications and wallets to seamlessly facilitate deposits and withdrawals of the asset for their users. In addition, through Stably’s borderless payments account, Stably Prime, the Stellar ecosystem will have access to a whitelabel wallet platform that allows its users to serve customers in the US and abroad leveraging their own brands. Stably’s whitelabel services also extend to stablecoins, providing enterprises the ability to issue their own branded Stellar-based stablecoins for use throughout the Stellar ecosystem.

Lobstr is the first wallet integration with USDC and USDS on/off ramp support on Stellar, available for users today.

Stably and the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) established a partnership in Q4 2020 to expand Stably’s products and services to Stellar-based businesses. The next phase of this partnership will focus on developing cross-border payment infrastructure through the implementation of Stellar Ecosystem Proposal 31 (SEP-31). ‍

Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation said: “Stably shares our vision of creating a borderless financial world, where you have access to financial services no matter where you’re from. Our partnership and this integration is a step towards achieving that goal together, as we show the value and opportunity of a global network of stablecoins, supporting the Stellar ecosystem with the infrastructure they need to use Stellar USDC. It’s evident that the launch of USDC on Stellar brings exciting new partners and Stably’s latest offering speaks to our inspiring network of innovators and what our ecosystem can achieve together.”‍

Kory Hoang, CEO and Co-Founder of Stably, said: "Stellar’s promise of a borderless financial world aligns precisely with our company values and the products and services we offer. Whether it be the small guys trading at a retail level, or institutional players looking to move larger amounts of money, we look forward to enabling users globally to benefit from the intrinsic nature of blockchain technology and stablecoins. We are excited to partner with the Stellar Development Foundation to make this vision a reality.”
